The Children's Art Project at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is a non-profit initiative that benefits patients in the Children’s Cancer Hospital at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. Marketing and sales of products based on the artwork of these young patients fund programs that support their educational, emotional and recreational needs. The artwork appears on seasonal notecards and a variety of gift items that are sold worldwide. Over the past 37 years, product sales have returned nearly $27 million〔 to enhance patient services and patient-centered research at MD Anderson. ==History== The Children’s Art Project (CAP) started with an MD Anderson volunteer’s observation about the quality of a young cancer patients’ art being “as pretty as a Christmas card.” In 1973, a few volunteers began work on the project by selling the artwork as Christmas cards to MD Anderson employees. The program’s name changed from the Children’s Christmas Card Project to the Children’s Art Project in 1995 to reflect the expanded scope of selling cards and products throughout the year. While CAP now has a small full-time paid staff, approximately 90% of the project work is accomplished by volunteers.
